Virgin Extends Proxy Submission Deadline

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Virgin Metals Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:VGM) is today providing an
update regarding its upcoming special meeting on April 16, 2014 (the "Special
Meeting"). The Company has determined to extend the proxy submission deadline to
Tuesday April 15, 2014 at 12:00 Noon.


The background to today's announcement relates to a voting agreement dated
September 21, 2011 (the "Voting Agreement") entered into by two parties (the
"Parties") and the Company. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Parties are
obligated to irrevocably and unconditionally vote their shares at every
shareholder meeting as the board of the Company specifies in the management
information circular prepared in connection with the particular meeting. The
Parties are further obligated to deliver a proxy entitling a Company designee to
vote the shares at a particular shareholder meeting in accordance with the
recommendations of the board of the Company as set forth in the management
information circular to which the proxy relates. 


The Company understands that the Parties, who the Company believes represent
11,952,575, or 20.23%, of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, do
not currently intend to fulfill their obligations under the Voting Agreement as
a result of which, the potential outcome of the shareholder vote at the Special
Meeting on the special business remains uncertain. The Company is considering
legal action against the Parties. 


In light of these developments, the Company has determined that it would be
appropriate to extend the deadline by which it will accept the submission of
proxies from 48 hours before April 16, 2014 to Tuesday, April 15 at 12:00 Noon.
